Looks like your father is suffering from Chronic liver cirrhosis with renal malfunction. Yes, as the modern medicine experts say the Ayurveda medicines and fruits which your father taking may have high potassium contents it many affect the kidney functions too. I suggest you to send me his prescriptions.

I have treated many chronic conditions like this before. I usually suggest them to take 30 ml of cow’s urine once a day on an empty stomach. In my experience, cow urine therapy is the best for liver cirrhosis condition especially when it is moving to multiple organ failure.

I suggest you to get him to the hospital and give him adequate acute care to sustain his health. Once the multiple organ functions are normalized Ayurveda or any supportive diet therapy can be offered to him as a supportive therapy.
